Yeah, I think they should be given some links to the rules and possibly a faq that goes over all the usual questions that get asked. I think a link to the rules should be provided when you have a post deleted as well so you can likely work out why it was removed and so you don't do it again.
I would agree to this, but if and only if there is a penalty imposed on members who perform actions contrary to the purpose of the links. For example, we have all these noobs (yes, not newbies, but noobs) who keep starting new threads asking for an explanation on Activity or how to increase their forum ranks when the thread explaining it is pinned on the subforum that they are posting on. They clearly aren't penalized (or at the very least, ostracized) for doing so. Even if a new policy was implemented which directed newbies to important threads and postings, if they are allowed to simply ignore those with no repercussions, then it wouldn't really do any good. In that case, I'd rather not have it since it would just consume the board's resources without achieving anything.
Hello im newbie in here, can you help me about signature? Explain me and what a signature is the best?how to apply?im a newbiw
This is a clear example of the aforementioned noobs.
I'm inclined to believe that this is just some bored dbag using a new account to troll.
